Verizon's LTE Gets Even Bigger On Nov. 17th; Can The Others Catch Up?

Sprint may be rumbling out with LTE markets of their own in the coming months and years, but they're already way, way behind compared to Verizon Wireless' rollout. And they're falling further behind every single day. The company is rolling out new LTE markets at a wildly rapid pace, and at CTIA Enterprise and Applications this week, they've announced 13 more markets to go live on November 17. Once that day hits, over 175 markets will be served.

VZW will turn on its 4G LTE network in 22 new cities and expand the network in four cities on Oct. 20, and will turn on the 4G LTE network in 13 cities and expand in five cities on Nov. 17, making the largest 4G LTE network in the country even bigger. On Thursday, Oct. 20, Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network will be available in Birmingham, Ala.; Modesto and Stockton, Calif.; Fort Myers, Fla.; Bloomington, Elkhart, Evansville, South Bend and Terre Haute, Ind.; Sioux City, Iowa; Hagerstown, Md.; Tupelo, Miss.; Albuquerque and Santa Fe, N.M.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Asheville, N.C.; Bartlesville, Okla.; Jackson and Martin, Tenn.; Greater Hampton Roads and Richmond, Va.; and Green Bay, Wis. Verizon Wireless is also expanding its 4G LTE network in Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; and Erie, Pa. the same day.
